Trunk comparison: Audi Q7 vs Peugeot 5008

Key Differences

The Audi Q7 offers a cargo area that is 5.5 in (13%) longer with the first row of seats upright compared to the Peugeot 5008. With all seats upright, the difference is even more pronounced: the Q7 has a cargo area 33.5 in (250%) longer.

The loading edge of the Audi Q7 is 3.5 in (13%) higher above the ground than that of the Peugeot 5008. Smaller differences below the 10% threshold include: the trunk opening of the Peugeot is 2 in higher, the trunk depth (loading edge to floor) is 0.4 in greater, the narrowest interior width in the Peugeot is 2.8 in wider, and the width of the trunk opening in the Q7 is 3.1 in wider.

Impact on Usability

The significantly longer cargo area of the Q7 with upright seating (5.5 in / 13%) and especially with all seats upright (33.5 in / 250%) makes it much more practical for transporting long items without folding down seats — such as skis, ladders, long furniture parts, or bulky goods with full or partial passenger occupancy.

Those who regularly need to transport both passengers and longer cargo benefit clearly from the Q7.

The higher loading edge of the Q7 (+3.5 in), on the other hand, means more effort is required when lifting heavy items into the trunk. For frequent loading and unloading of heavy or bulky loads, the Peugeot is more comfortable due to its lower loading edge.

Additionally, the higher trunk opening of the Peugeot (+2 in) makes it easier to load tall items despite the overall smaller cargo space with seats upright.

The small differences in depth and widths are usually negligible in practice: the slightly wider opening width of the Q7 helps when loading wide items, while the slightly larger narrowest interior width of the Peugeot can be useful when storing irregularly shaped cargo.

Overall: Q7 = clear advantage for longer cargo and flexible use with passengers; Peugeot = advantage for more comfortable, easier loading and for loading tall items.
